Muslim council bans gatherings during Ramadan

[geovalin]

The Highest Council for Islamic Religious Affairs in Cambodia yesterday decided to ban gatherings during the Ramadan fasting month to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the Kingdom.

Speaking at a press conference, Othsman Hassan, Cambodian Muslim Development Foundation president, appealed to all Cambodian-Muslims to follow the government’s instruction on avoiding gatherings and the Health Ministry’s guidelines on preventing the spread of the virus.“Breaking fast during the Ramadan month every evening should be done at home and not in public. They are also forbidden from congregating in mosques for prayers and breaking fast,” he said. “I believe that all Cambodian-Muslims will understand that under the leadership of Prime Minister Hun Sen, the government’s virus response is aimed at ensuring the safety of all Cambodians.”

Mr Othsman noted that Saudi Arabia has announced all religious activities should be done at individual homes and not in mosques.  He said that the council had planned to host a national- level dinner to celebrate Eid-ul-fitr at the end of the fasting month with Mr Hun Sen and Yousef bin Ahmad Al-Othaimeen, secretary-general of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, as guests-of-honour but it has been cancelled over the coronavirus.Mr Othsman said the National Ramadan dinner was to be held on April 29.

Anyone believing Muslims will keep to the rules of anything are sadly mistaken. Expect mass gatherings in every country on the planet that their are followers if this nutty cult. Prime example is 300,00 nutters at a funeral.
